Cross Borders Surveillance

Nothing can replace the expert "watchful eye” provided by field surveillance teams, professionally trained and supervised.

LapidIM’s
expertly designed and placed and monitored surveillance cameras provide
even more valuable information to our clients.

Coordinating
and
running surveillance operations, even in dangerous regions where there
are no local investigators available
and across international borders is our expertise. LapidIM professional
teams have performed dozens of surveillance assignments all over
the world. Our investigators have become
expert in revealing medical fraud through insurance surveillance
investigations.

Examples of International Field Surveillance Cases:

A North
American Insurance company was burdened with an expensive case regarding a
person who claimed to be 100% disabled, constantly requiring assistance and a
wheelchair for transportation. LapidIM’s investigators found that the claimant
was planning to attend a family wedding in a remote Indian village where every
foreigner would be viewed as suspicious. This was an isolated area, and there
were no local investigators available. LapidIM’s team successfully disguised
themselves as beggars and set up a surveillance operation.
The target was observed leaving the house, dressed elaborately and accompanied
by the bride and groom, to formally register the marriage at the City Hall.
LapidIM’s team of "beggars” videotaped the target walking out of the house
without support, entering a car without help, and climbing the stairs of the
City Hall with no problem. This evidence contradicted the target’s claim of
100% disability.

LapidIM
was contacted by an Insurance company that was
interested in verifying the claim of a Canadian citizen of Iranian
background who was involved in an accident and claimed to
have a 100% medical disability. Various investigations firms had
followed this
person in Canada, and all of their surveillance efforts revealed that he
was in
a wheelchair. However, the insurance firm was not convinced. The company
learned that the target would be visiting Iran, and they searched for an
agency
that could handle such high risk surveillance in a hostile environment.
LapidIM first established surveillance at his mother’s home in Tehran,
Iran.

LapidIM’s local source revealed that
the subject intended to travel to neighboring Turkey. Our team in Iran had
followed the subject, who took a 1000 km bus trip until he reached the border
high in the mountains. Another team continued the surveillance on the other
side of the border for an additional 1400 km until he reached Istanbul, Turkey. The team videoed the subject
going off the bus with no assistance and checking into a hotel, but this was
not the juiciest part of the story. In the evening the subject went out with
his friends, he boarded a cruise boat with entertainment on it. The team joined
the trip and, to their astonishment when the atmosphere became "hot”, the subject climbed on a table and danced with a sexy
belly dancer.
